Crews Setting Bridge Beams for

New US 31 Ramp to I-465

CARMEL – Contractors for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) plan to restrict traffic lanes on U.S. 31/Meridian Street during overnight hours this week to set bridge beams for a new ramp to I-465.

Beginning at 10 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday nights, crews will begin lane restrictions on northbound and southbound U.S. 31 between 106th Street and 96th Street. After midnight, crews will temporarily stop traffic on this section of U.S. 31 for up to 20 minutes at a time as beams are lifted over the roadway for a new bridge that will carry southbound U.S. 31 to eastbound I-465.

Crews will also restrict lanes on U.S. 31 at I-465 on Friday and Monday nights for work on the bridge beams, but short-term traffic stops will not be needed. Restrictions are expected to end before 6 a.m. the following day.

E & B Paving and Gradex are INDOT contractors for the $141 million contract to upgrade U.S. 31 to freeway standards from 96th Street to the Monon overpass. The contract builds new roundabout interchanges at 106th, 116th, 131st and 136th streets and improvements to the U.S. 31 and I-465 interchange, including two flyover ramps from southbound U.S. 31 to eastbound I-465 and eastbound I-465 to northbound U.S. 31.
